Choi's Magic and Support Cardinal Guide

Introduction

The main purpose of this guide is to provide information on the gear progression for Magic Damage and Full Support Cardinal Builds. For Magic builds, this guide should be read in tandem with Choi's Guide To Magic which provides more general information about magic classes. However, as the gear and concepts are similar across different builds, this guide should also be helpful for other magic builds. Please feel free to reach out to me (IGN: Choi or Tokki) for any questions or feedback!

Also, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has helped me, as I learned and continue to learn Cardi!

Notes

Cardinal is one of the most popular Support Builds with very useful supportive abilities and powerful heals. However, it also has strong magic builds and can be used for solo play and farming. It also has a physical build, but I won't be covering that.

This build will have two full sections for Support and Magic. Expand the sections below for more information!

Full Support

Full Support Notes Cardinal is one of the most popular support builds in the game, as it provides a plethora of supportive buffs and has strong heals. Additionally, due to Mediale Votum scaling off the target's HP, Cardinal can work very effectively as a tank. However, as solo farming is the main activity people do and party play is limited, you will have difficulty gearing or leveling, so I don't recommend this as your first class unless you are playing with a group of friends or a guild. Due to it being full support, Cardinal focuses more heavily on stats and bonuses that other classes might not focus as much on. Cardinal is also a pretty flexible build, so you can adjust your build according to what works best for you! Whether you want to be the tankiest cardinal on the server, buff your friends 10 times per second, or have the strongest heal you can have, it's totally up to you. However, here is how I, personally, prioritize my stats: Cast Time Reduction: Generally, your goal will be to reach instant cast or near instant cast in the end game, so you will want to make sure you have enough FCT Reduction and VCT Reduction. Due to the +17 int and dex provided by Clementia and the stats you can afford not indexing into damage, so I opt for VCT reduction through Stats rather than gear. This means you will want reduction by getting your ((Dex x 2) + INT) = 530. However, 100% VCT reduction through gear is just as viable, and you can opt for this route as well. Tankiness: Overall, HP and resists, are super effective on Cardinal. Since Mediale Votum scales off the target's HP, your healing will scale off your own HP if you cast it on yourself. Additionally, since you won't be sacrificing stats for damage, you can afford to invest in tank stats. After Cast Delay Reduction: Many of a Cardinal's main supportive abilities have zero to low cooldowns but high after cast delay. For example, Resurrection has 0 cooldown but 3s After Cast Delay. As such, After Cast Delay Reduction is a stat that I index very highly into. Attack Speed: Attack Speed decreases the animation delay of your skills. Once you hit enough After Cast Delay Reduction, your skills will start being gated by your attack speed. As such, Attack Speed is a very useful stat for Cardinals Healing Effectiveness and H.Plus: Boosts the strength of your heals. If you think you are already tanky enough and have enough ACD and ASPD, then healing effectiveness will help boost your support abilities. Also big shout out to Miku Kitsune for his recommendations on this. Relevant Skills Mediale Votum: One of the most powerful new abilities as a Cardinal. The ability heals in a 9x9 area based on a percentage of the target's max HP. If you go a tankier build, you'll be able to heal your team solely based on your HP. Dilectio Heal: Mediale requires your team members to be next to you. Dilectio Heal provides a powerful targeted heal in a 7x7 area around the target. Highness Heal: An incredibly strong single target heal. By default, it has a long 3s cooldown. However, with Light of Cure (2864) and Cure Lv1 (4803) the skill cooldown will go to 0. Resurrection: The reason that Priest classes have been coveted in party play since second classes were introduced. The skill will resurrect your party member. Redemptio: The Panic button. Sacrifices your HP to resurrect all fallen party members on screen. Make sure to carry around Yggdrasil Berry (607) for this. Reparatio: Fully Restores the target's HP which will be useful for you or other tanky members if they become low HP. Lex Aeterna: A Targeted debuff that makes the target take double the damage. Vituperatum: Gives Lex Aeterna effect in an AOE. However, the cooldown is significantly longer. Clementia: Provides Blessing effect to your whole party. At Max skill level, Clementia provides a bigger buff than blessing, granting 17 STR, INT, and DEX. Cantocandidus: Provides Increase Agi effect to your whole party. At Max skill level, Cantocandidus provides 19 AGI. Praefatio: Provides Kyrie Eleison effect to your whole party. At Max skill level, Praefatio blocks 16 hits. Religio: Gives SPL/WIS/STA to a target. Benedictum: Gives POW/CRT/CON to a target. Competentia: Restores HP and SP in an AOE and provides a huge 50 P.ATK and S.ATK buff. Argutus Vita: Provides a buff to the target that allows them to ignore 25% MRES. Argutus Telum: Provides a buff to the target that allows them to ignore 25% RES. Presens Acies: Provides a buff to the target that gives 10 C.Rate. Offertorium: Self Buff that increases your Healing Power but increases your SP costs by 300% Lauda Agnus: Recovers Freezing, Stone Curse, Dark Curse, Frozen, Crystallization, and Burning status effects of all party members and gives a Max HP buff. However, it should be noted that status effects are much rarer in fourth classes. Lauda Ramus: Recovers Silence, Sleep, Stun Curse, Howling, and Deep Sleep status effects of all party members and gives a critical damage buff. However, it should be noted that status effects are much rarer in fourth classes. There are other useful abilities, but these are the ones that I use the most often. In general, playing Cardinal may feel like playing the piano with all the keys you will press! Stats and Traits Generally, Stats should be based on what best suits you. As such, I won't provide my exact Stat distribution, as you should update yours accordingly. Instead, I'll provide my priority and the benefits of each Stat: Dex: Provides the highest reduction in Variable Cast Time from stats. It also provides the third-highest bonus in StatusMATK. You will want enough Dex to reach full VCT reduction. Int: Provides the the second-highest reduction in Variable Cast Time. It also provides the highest bonus in StatusMATK. You will want enough Int to reach full VCT reduction. Vit: Provides a lot of tankiness through HP, SoftDEF, and SoftMDEF. Agi: Provides some additional tankiness by providing FLEE, and the ATKSPD improves cast speed by reducing Cast animation. Str: Provides additional weight capacity which will help for farming. Luk: Provides the second-highest bonus in StatusMATK. Note: If you opt to go for VCT Reduction through gear rather than stats, you can reduce your DEX significantly. Traits are additional stats that provide bonuses for fourth classes. Traits are bit more straightforward: WIS (72-110): Provides Magical Resistance which I prioritize over Physical Resistance, as you will have a lot of Flee for physical damage. STA (72-110): Provides Physical Resistance. CRT (72-110): Provides H.Plus. Generally, I prioritize STA and WIS over CRT, but if you want very strong heals, feel free to max this. Additionally, you can use this chart to see what healing skills benefit from which stat/substat: Gear Progression Madame Celery's Guide to MuhRO has a very useful section for Gear Progression and Useful Cards, so please check that out! The information I will provide for Gear Progression will be more specific to Full Support Cardinal. It may be tempting starting out to want to rush your end-game gear. However, I do not recommend doing this and instead recommend improving your gear gradually, so you can farm more effectively. Phase Eden At Level 100, you can talk with Labraham and Louis at @go Eden to get your Advanced Paradise Gear. These gears will require Old Pick (7318) , Blue Hair (1034) , and Elastic Band (7200) . Additionally, you can talk with Lucy in the same room to receive your Advanced Paradise Shadow Gear by renting it for 20 Eden Coins for 3 days or buying the set permanently for 230 in total. Phase One Moving forward, your main priority is to see where you can reduce your fixed cast time, and your second priority will be increasing your tankiness. Abilities will have a specific Fixed Cast Time and Variable Cast Time. For Cardinal, 1.5s Fixed Cast Reduction should be enough for the majority of your skills. However, some of your abilities will have 2s Fixed Cast, but you can aim for 1s or 1.5s for now. In general, some cast time is less punishing for Cardinals. Fixed Cast Time can be reduced by equipment (Most often through Shoes, Costume Enchant Stones, Accessories, and Higher Level Headgear). Variable Cast Time can be reduced by gear (all types of gear) and stats. The formula to calculate your Variable Cast Time Reduction is 1 -((1-((Int + (Dex*2))/530)) * (1 - Bonus VCT from gear)). For now, just assume that your VCT will come in time and go full int and dex for your stats. At Level 150, you can start using Grace Magic Boots [1] (470021) , which can be obtained after completing the 17.1 Questline from the Sentinel NPC. The boots are the easiest way to obtain some Fixed Cast Reduction, providing .5s at Refine Level 7. At Level 160, you will have access to Illusion of Luanda's Goibne Gear and Illusion of Twins' Sprint Gear. Both sets are very useful and the full combos can provide a mix of tankiness, ACD reduction, and .7s FCT reduction. For FCT reduction, you can also use Arch Bishop Stone (Top) (1000857) for .5s FCT reduction and Minor Casting Stone (Garment) (25170) or Cast Stone (Garment) (25067) for .3s or .5s FCT reduction respectively. Of the two Illusion sets, I recommend the Illusion Sprint Set as the transition to Phase Two will be the smoothest. However, both are powerful, and you will also be using pieces of both sets. For all of the Illusion Gear, if you plan on using them for a while, you can enchant them with double Rune of Vitality Lv2 (29010) Rune of Vitality Lv2 (29010) and upgrade them to +11 for a big boost in HP. Phase 1 Gear Type Item Notes Upper +9 to +10 Illusion Goibne's Helm [1] (19366) Middle Cor Core Booster (410091) or Cor Core Booster [1] (410092) Depending on if you have a card or not. Lower There's no good lower headgear worth getting at this point. Armor +9 to +11 Illusion Sprint Mail [1] (450182) +9 to +10 Illusion Goibne's Armor [1] (15348) Weapon Illusion Long Mace [2] (16063) or Paradise Archbishop Mace (590029) Shield +10 Illusion Silver Guard [1] (460018) If you plan to use the ISG for a while, you can enchant it with 2x Rune of Vitality Lv2 (29010) Garment +9 to +10 Illusion Goibne's Spaulders [1] (20923) Advanced Paradise Muffler (480106) Only use the Goibne's Spaulders if you're using the full Goibne's Combo Shoe +9 to +11 Illusion Sprint Shoes [1] (470066) +7 to +10 Illusion Goibne's Greaves [1] (22192) +7 Grace Magic Boots [1] (470021) Early on you can use Grace Shoes, but you will want to get the Gray Wolf or Glacier Shoes quickly. Accessory (Right) Illusion Sprint Ring [1] (490120) Accessory (Left) Illusion Sprint Glove [1] (490121) Phase Two Phase Two is a very serviceable and budget-friendly build, and this is the build that I would recommend for players who are just making an alt cardi. With Phase Two, you should be very comfortable with joining public parties to support. The Illusion Goibne and Illusion Sprint Combo from the previous Phase are quite strong and provide a lot of After Cast Delay Reduction, HP, and Fixed Cast Reduction that you will need, so I would pivot off of these slowly. Instead, the first upgrade you should focus on is the Rubber Hammer [2] (16099) which will give you a big bonus in After Cast Delay. Afterwards, if you were using the Goibne's Set, then you should focus on getting your shoes of choice, as you will need the FCT reduction before switching out other gear. If you were using Sprint Set then you can go for the Vicious Mind Aura (19439) and Fallen Warrior Manteau [1] (20749) combo and Old Mitra [1] (18972) before working on your shoes. After finishing your shoes and obtaining the FCT requirement, you can start replacing other pieces of your gear. Light of Cure (2864) is an interesting item, as with the Cure Lv1 (4803) enchant, the cooldown on Highness Heal will be reduced to 0. If you are finding yourself healing others often, I would recommend this item. If you are mainly supporting through buffs, then the Safety Combo will be best. The VIT Soutane [1] (15399) and the Safety Pendant R [1] (32248) / Safety Pendant B [1] (32249) and Safety Epaulet B [1] (32251) will provide much more tanky stats. The Illusion Sprint Mail [1] (450182) Illusion Sprint Ring [1] (490120) Illusion Sprint Glove [1] (490121) will provide more ACD Reduction. Also big shout out to Soothing and Fuka's Serious Guide for FS Cardinal both of whom I used as a reference for this phase. Phase 2 Gear Type Item Notes Upper +10 to +12 Old Mitra [1] (18972) +11 Thanatos' Anguish-LT [1] (400465) Old Mitra: Obtained in Nightmare Biolabs. Adamantine Lv1 (29101) , DEX+5 (4724) or VIT+5 (4744) Thanatos: Obtained through item reform. Sacrifices tanky stats for more ACD Reduction. Adamantine Lv3 (29103) Middle Victory Wing Ears [1] (400002) Cor Core Booster (410091) Victory Wing Ears can be enchanted Cor Core Booster is a fine option if you don't have a card. Lower Vicious Mind Aura (19439) Obtained from Bioresearch Laboratory. The Vicious Mind Aura (19439) combos with the Fallen Warrior Manteau [1] (20749) . Armor +10 to +12 VIT Soutane [1] (15399) +11 Illusion Sprint Mail [1] (450182) Obtained from Odin's Past. VIT Blessing (310078) , MaxHP+5% (4900) or VIT+8 (4747) , MaxHP+5% (4900) or VIT+8 (4747) Sprint: 2x Rune of Vitality Lv2 (29010) Weapon +11 Rubber Hammer [2] (16099) To Obtain the Rubber Hammer. The Rubber Hammer can be enchanted as well. Shield +11 Illusion Silver Guard [1] (460018) +10 [D] Glacier Guard [1] (460040) ISG: 2x Rune of Vitality Lv2 (29010) Glacier: Your choice for Slot 2 and 3. Glacier Flower Meow Power(Guardian) (312094) for Slot 1. Garment +10 Fallen Warrior Manteau [1] (20749) Obtained in Nightmare Biolabs. The Fallen Warrior Manteau [1] (20749) needs to be the slotted version Shoe +11 Hero Boots-LT [1] (470094) 9 to +11 Snow Flower Shoes [1] (470116) +11 Illusion Sprint Shoes [1] (470066) Hero: Obtained in Bioresearch Labs Vigor of Warlord (310912) , Spell Lv4 (4812) , VIT+5 (4744) or INT+5 (4714) SF: Obtained through Episode 19. Ice Flower Magic Stone(Fixed Casting) (1000736) and your choice for Slot 4. Slot 2 can be ignored. Sprint: 2x Rune of Vitality Lv2 (29010) . Can be used if you continue to use the full Sprint combo. Accessory (Right) Light of Cure (2864) Safety Pendant R [1] (32248) / Safety Pendant B [1] (32249) Illusion Sprint Ring [1] (490120) LoC: Obtained in Mora Cure Lv1 (4803) , DEX+2 (4721) Safety: Obtained in Einbech Dungeons. Sprint: The Sprint Accessory combo can be continued to use if you are using Illusion Sprint Mail [1] (450182) Accessory (Left) Hero's Badge [1] (490163) Safety Epaulet B [1] (32251) Illusion Sprint Glove [1] (490121) Hero: Obtained from Biolabs 3 or 4 MVPs. To be paired with Hero Boots-LT [1] (470094) . Vitality (310918) , Spell Lv4 (4812) , VIT+5 (4744) or INT+5 (4714) Safety: Obtained in Einbech Dungeons. Paired with Safety Pendant Sprint: The Sprint Accessory combo can be continued to use if you are using Illusion Sprint Mail [1] (450182) Phase Three You should feel overall pretty good with your build after Phase Two. However, there are a lot of ways you can improve your gear greatly. After Phase Three you should feel comfortable tanking the hardest MvPs and dungeons. The biggest bonus will be from the Nebula and Stellar Seal combo or the Glade Rune Gear. The Nebula combo will provide more HP than the Glade Rune Combo, but the Glade Rune Armor will provide more ACD Reduction. Stamina Nebula: 133% bonus HP and 40% healing effectiveness as well as some resistances while the Glade Rune Armor + Combo will provide 95% bonus HP and 15% ACD Reduction as well as some STA. Both are great options. During Phase Two, I highly recommend joining public Constellation Tower and Alice runs or running them with your friends to start getting the materials for CT and Alice gear. In this phase, I would consider whether you will go for VCT Reduction through Stats or through Gears. For VCT through Stats, you can ignore any enchants that provide VCT reduction %. Instead, lean more towards Dex over Vit enchants, but having some Vit enchants is not bad. You will want to find a balance though. Generally, if you are using more DEX than VIT in your base stats VIT to get instant cast, then DEX enchants are better and vis-versa. For VCT through Gear, you will forgo any DEX enchants and opt for VIT instead. Additionally, you should look for more VCT Reduction %, but just make sure that you aren't wasting any enchants or gears after you hit 100% VCT Reduction. Some gears and enchants to consider when going through VCT through Gear: Temporal Circlet (Archbishop) [1] (19480) and Thanatos' Anguish-LT [1] (400465) will provide you VCT%, whereas Old Mitra [1] (18972) and Time Dimensions Rune Crown(Cardinal) [1] (400537) will not. VCT% enchants will be important on Rubber Hammer [2] (16099) , Flush Rubber Hammer [2] (590049) , and Light of Recovery [1] (1659) Hero's Badge [1] (490163) and Signet of Circulation: Autumn [1] (490485) can provide you VCT%, whereas Light of Cure (2864) will not. Spell Caster Shadow Earring (24749) and Spell Caster Shadow Pendant (24750) can be used instead of Almighty Shadow Earring (24339) and Almighty Shadow Pendant (24340) Note that your shadow gear can also be enchanted with VCT% options. Phase 3 Gear Type Item Notes Upper +10 to +12 Old Mitra [1] (18972) +11 [C] Time Dimensions Rune Crown(Cardinal) [1] (400537) +10 to +12 Temporal Circlet (Archbishop) [1] (19480) +11 [C] Thanatos' Anguish-LT [1] (400465) Mitra: Adamantine Lv1 (29101) , DEX+5 (4724) or VIT+5 (4744) TD: Obtained in Depth 2.

Sacrifices tanky stats for more ACD Reduction. Adamantine Lv3 (29103) Middle Gambler's Seal [1] (410233) HP or ACD reduction enchants should be the main focus. Lower Ace of Clovers in Mouth (Defense) (420269) Rosary's Necklace (19244) Ace: Resistances (DEF, MDEF, RES, MRES), attack speed, or healing effectiveness enchants should be the main focus. I recommend using Loki's Advice(Defense) (102677) or Loki's Advice(Magical) (100488) . Rosary: Can be obtained through Equipment Crafting Armor +12 [A] Nebula Armor of Stamina [1] (450170) +12 [A] Glade Rune Armor [1] (450243) Nebula: Obtained through Constellation Tower. I highly recommend Stamina over Wisdom. Star Cluster of Stamina Lv.3 (310679) , Nebula of Health Lv.3 (310744) or Nebula of Healing Lv.3 (310741) , DEX+4 (4723) or VIT+5 (4744) Glade: The full Glade combo will provide less HP than the nebula combo, but the Armor should provide more ACD Reduction. Weapon +11 Rubber Hammer [2] (16099) +11 Flush Rubber Hammer [2] (590049) +10 to +12 Light of Recovery [1] (1659) +10 to +12 [A] Wicked Cross [2] (590036) Rubber: To Obtain the Rubber Hammer. The Rubber Hammer can be enchanted as well. Flush: Obtained through Einbech Exchanger. After Attack Delay Lv5 (311394) or Caster Lv5 (311404) .

Magic DPS

Magic DPS Notes DPS Cardinal is a very fun build that provides a mix of supportive abilities and damage that allows you to thrive in both solo play and group play. While you won't be as tanky or have as many supportive abilities as the Full Support Cardinal, you will still have access to some useful buffs and skills like Clementia or Resurrection. Additionally, Arch Bishop's zero to low fixed cast requirements on Adoramus and Arbitrium make it fairly newbie friendly. However, due to its main fourth class damage skill being Holy element, you will have to be careful where you level and farm, as you won't be able to damage holy element with it. However, Cardinal's newest skill Divinus Flos should help greatly with this, as you can turn it neutral. Big shout out to Chyester for helping me test a few Cardinal builds. Relevant Skills Arbitrium: Your main damaging abilities. Provides very strong damage to a target in a 9x9 AOE. This will be your highest DPS skill. Divinus Flos: Your secondary damaging ability. Provides very strong damage to a target in a 7x7 AOE. This skill can be turned into Neutral element with Ancilla (12333) . Pneumaticus Procella: A very powerful ground targeted ability with a 11x11 AOE. It does neutral damage which will be helpful against holy mobs. However, this skill has a 5s cooldown, so it should not be your main skill. Framen: Provides decent damage to a target in a 7x7 AOE. It does significantly less damage than Arbitrium, but this skill only has a shorter .3s cooldown. Oratio: Decreases Holy resistances of all enemies on screen with a 90% chance. Religio: Gives SPL/WIS/STA to a target. Argutus Vita: Provides a buff to the target that allows them to ignore 25% MRES. Competentia: Restores HP and SP in an AOE and provides a huge 50 P.ATK and S.ATK buff. Adoramus: For early leveling, Adoramus will be your main skill before you become a cardinal. Ancilla (12333) will make the skill do neutral damage. Stats and Traits Generally, Stats should be based on what best suits you. As such, I won't provide my exact Stat distribution, as you should update yours accordingly. Instead, I'll provide my priority and the benefits of each Stat: Int: Provides the highest bonus in StatusMATK. It also provides the second-highest reduction in Variable Cast Time. Dex: Provides the third-highest bonus in StatusMATK. It also provides the highest reduction in Variable Cast Time from stats. Early on, you will want a lot of Dex, as your gear may not provide the VCT reduction you need. Later on, it will be a lower priority. However, I tend to keep a lot of dex in my full build, as I don't always use my full build in lieu of item drop rate gear. Vit: Provides a lot of tankiness through HP, SoftDEF, and SoftMDEF. Agi: Provides some additional tankiness by providing FLEE, and the ATKSPD improves DPS by reducing Cast animation. Str: Provides additional weight capacity which will help for farming. Luk: Provides the second-highest bonus in StatusMATK. However, I use more Dex than Luk because of the cast time reduction. Traits are additional stats that provide bonuses for fourth classes. Traits are bit more straightforward: SPL (110): Provides the highest bonus in S.MATK and your abilities will additionally scale off SPL. CON (100-110): Provides the second-highest bonus in S.MATK. WIS (50-82): Provides Magical Resistance which I prioritize over Physical Resistance, as you will have a lot of Flee for physical damage. STA (0-32): Provides Physical Resistance. Gear Progression Madame Celery's Guide to MuhRO has a very useful section for Gear Progression and Useful Cards, so please check that out! The information I will provide for Gear Progression will be more specific to Magic Damage Classes, particularly for DPS Cardinal. As you read through, you can look at the Magic Gear Progression Table on my Guide to Magic. This table will have links that will guide you to the relevant pages. It may be tempting starting out to want to rush your end-game gear. However, I do not recommend doing this and instead recommend improving your gear gradually, so you can farm more effectively. Phase Eden At Level 100, you can talk with Labraham and Louis at @go Eden to get your Advanced Paradise Gear. These gears will require Old Pick (7318) , Blue Hair (1034) , and Elastic Band (7200) . Additionally, you can talk with Lucy in the same room to receive your Advanced Paradise Shadow Gear by renting it for 20 Eden Coins for 3 days or buying the set permanently for 230 in total. Phase One Moving forward, your main priority is to see where you can reduce your fixed cast time, and your second priority will be increasing your damage output (for now). Abilities will have a specific Fixed Cast Time and Variable Cast Time. For Arbitrium your fixed cast time is 1s and your Variable Cast time is 4s. Fixed Cast Time can be reduced by equipment (Most often through Shoes, Costume Enchant Stones, Accessories, and Higher Level Headgear). Variable Cast Time can be reduced by gear (all types of gear) and stats. The formula to calculate your Variable Cast Time Reduction is 1 -((1-((Int + (Dex*2))/530)) * (1 - Bonus VCT from gear)). For now, just assume that your VCT will come in time and go full int and dex for your stats. At Level 150, you can start using Grace Magic Boots [1] (470021) , which can be obtained after completing the 17.1 Questline from the Sentinel NPC. The boots are the easiest way to obtain some Fixed Cast Reduction, providing .5s at Refine Level 7. As both of your damaging abilities only have a 1s Fixed Cast Time, the Grace Boots should be enough for now. At Level 170, you will have access to the Illusion of Labyrinth and its related equipment. The Illusion Morpheus Set will provide a good boost in damage, and a +9 Illusion Morpheus's Hood [1] (19428) will give you Skill Cast Interruption Protection. Lastly, the Advanced Paradise Equipment does not provide a Middle or Lower Headgear, so getting middle and lower headgears will provide an easy upgrade. Additionally, while you are leveling as an Arch Bishop, you may want to invest in Archbishop Shadow Shield (24305) and Archbishop Shadow Weapon (24292) as well as Archbishop Stone (Garment) (25709) and High Priest Stone (25707) , as both combos will reduce Adoramus Cooldown by 1s each. If you don't want to break the Advanced Paradise Shadow Combo, then you can just get the Archbishop Stone (Garment) (25709) and High Priest Stone (25707) combo. Phase 1 Gear Type Item Notes Upper +9 to +11 Illusion Morpheus's Hood [1] (19428) You can use Rune of Intellect Lv2 (29001) Rune of Intellect Lv2 (29001) depending on how long you plan on staying on Illusion Morpheus Hood. Make it +11 if you decide to enchant it. Middle Cor Core Booster (410091) or Cor Core Booster [1] (410092) Depending on if you have a card or not. Lower CD in Mouth (420003) Armor +7 to +11 Illusion Saint Robe [1] (450144) or +7 to +9 Grace Adora Robe [1] (450094) Weapon +7 to +11 Illusion Dea Staff [2] (550031) or +7 to +11 Illusion Thorny Staff of Darkness [2] (550030) The benefit of the illusion weapons is the card slots. Early on, I recommend Deadsera Card (300442) as a cheaper card option. Shield Illusion Silver Guard [1] (460018) Garment +9 to +11 Illusion Morpheus's Shawl [1] (20948) or +7 or +9 Grace Magic Manteau [1] (480019) You can use Rune of Intellect Lv2 (29001) Rune of Intellect Lv2 (29001) depending on how long you plan on staying on Illusion Morpheus Shawl. Make it +11 if you decide to enchant it. Shoe +7 to +9 Grace Magic Boots [1] (470021) Accessory (Right) Illusion Morpheus's Ring [1] (32238) or Grace Magic Ring [1] (490020) Use the Grace Ring if you're using the Grace Set. Accessory (Left) Illusion Morpheus's Bracelet [1] (32239) Zeny Tip: Illusion of Underwater 2 and Illusion of Labyrinth are great places to farm zeny starting out, and you'll be able to get Underwater Refinement Box (100425) and Labyrinth Refinement Box (100423) to upgrade your gear or to make Safe to Refine tickets! Phase Two 1s Fixed Cast Reduction is what you need. However, 1.5s is better since some of your supportive skills have 1.5s Fixed Cast. It's up to you to decide whether you want to upgrade to 1.5s by getting the Gray Wolf Shoes [1] (470088) with the Wolf Orb (Fixed Casting) Lv.3 (310602) or whether you want to sit on the Grace Magic Boots [1] (470021) until Phase Three. Pneumaticus Procella has a 2s Fixed Cast time, but you can worry about that later. The Brilliant/ Sinful Sapphire Accessory Pairs give a good amount of damage and provide .2s and .3s FCT reduction respectively. With the Minor Casting Stone (Garment) (25170) that gives .3s FCT reduction, you'll have a total of 1s or 1.1s FCT reduction. Additionally, you can get a Arch Bishop Stone (Low) (1000859) for .5s FCT reduction. I do not recommend getting a Cast Stone (Garment) (25067) if it's too expensive, as you'll already have enough FCT! Moving forward, we're just working on damage; let's up those numbers!! Between the Gray Wolf Robe [1] (450178) and the Snow Flower Robe [1] (450207) , both options are great. Gray Wolf Robe [1] (450178) provides more damage and Snow Flower Robe [1] (450207) provides more tankiness. Generally, Snow Flower Robe [1] (450207) will be cheaper, as you can buy the necessary enchantment stones from other players. However, this requires other players to have and be willing to sell those stones, which may not always be the case. Gray Wolf Robe [1] (450178) , however, requires farming of Amethyst Fragment (1000405) which may be grindier but more reliable. My recommendation if you plan on going the snow flower route is to make sure that the stones you need for the Snow Flower Robe [1] (450207) are available. The Vesper Headgear is time-gated, requiring mysterious ores from a 24hr cooldown instance. You can try to farm these if you would like or buy these from a vendor. Phase 2 Gear Type Item Notes Upper +9 to +11 Survival Circlet-LT [1] (400154) or +9 Vesper Headgear [1] (400111) To Craft and To Reform the Survival Circlet. To Craft the Vesper Helmet Middle Battle Processor [1] (410017) or Cor Core Booster [1] (410092) Unslotted versions are fine if you don't have a card to use. Lower Orbs of Survival-LT (420066) Young Leaf of World Tree (Intelligence) (420022) CD in Mouth (420003) OoS: To Craft and To Reform. Use OoS if you're using Survival Circlet. YL: SPL Lv2 (311081) or S.MATK Lv.2 (310985) , Spell Lv2 (4814) or MATK Lv.2 (310989) , INT+3 (4712) . Use Young Leaf if you are using Vesper Helm. Any Young Leaf is fine; it's the enchants that matter. Alternatively, you can continue to use CD in mouth combo for a while. Armor +9 to +11 Gray Wolf Robe [1] (450178) +9 to +11 Snow Flower Robe [1] (450207) +9 to +11 Glacier Robe [1] (450265) GW: Wolf Orb (Shadow Spell) (310532) Wolf Orb (Mage) Lv.3 (310510) Wolf Orb (Mage) Lv.2 (310507) . Gray Wolf Gear can be obtained after completing Episode 18 SF: Ice Flower Magic Stone(Physical Defense) (1000717) or Ice Flower Magic Stone(Magical Defense) (1000718) , Ice Flower Magic Stone(Magician) (1000721) , Ice Flower Magic Stone(Shadow Spell) (1000773) . Snow Flower gear can be obtained after completing Episode 19 . Only get Snow Flower if the related Ice Flower Magic Stones are easily obtainable (available in vend). Glacier: Glacier Flower Meow Power(Grand Mage) (312066) , Glacier Flower Meow Power(Mage) (312063) or Glacier Flower Meow Power(Power Force) (312067) , Glacier Flower Meow Power(SPL&WIS) (312059) . Glacier gear can be obtained after completing Episode 20 . Weapon +9 Glacier Staff (640033) Glacier Flower Spell (Magical - Element) (311353) Glacier Flower Spell (Magical - Size) (311351) Glacier Flower Spell (Magical - Race) (311349) Glacier Flower Spell (MATK) (311343) Just buy this from a seller! Shield N/A Garment +9 or +11 Illusion Morpheus's Shawl [1] (20948) You can use Rune of Intellect Lv2 (29001) Rune of Intellect Lv2 (29001) depending on how long you plan on staying on Illusion Morpheus Shawl. Make it +11 if you decide to enchant it. Shoe +7 to +9 Grace Magic Boots [1] (470021) +7 Gray Wolf Shoes [1] (470088) +7 Glacier Shoes [1] (450268) GW: Wolf Orb (Fixed Casting) Lv.3 (310602) . The other enchants don't matter. Glacier: Glacier Flower Meow Power(Fixed Casting) (312076) Accessory (Right) Brilliant Light Sapphire Ring [1] (490064) Sinful Sapphire Ring [1] (490052) For Brilliant Enchants: Any Happiness, Any Destructive Evil. For Sinful Enchants: Any Horror, Any Dragon Scale. I recommend at least level 3 for both. Accessory (Left) Brilliant Light Sapphire Necklace [1] (490065) Sinful Sapphire Necklace [1] (490053) For Brilliant Enchants: Any Happiness, Any Destructive Evil. For Sinful Enchants: Any Horror, Any Dragon Scale. I recommend at least level 3 for both. In terms of Priority: Shoes and Weapon Accessories and Minor Cast Stone Armor and Headgears Garment and Shoes. Zeny Tip: Thanatos 11 and 12 are great places to farm at this point and in general, and you'll be able to farm the materials for your accessories. Guyak Pudding (12710) will help tremendously to prevent the Decrease Agility debuff effect. Phase Three You can sit pretty comfortably on the Phase Two gears for a while. The best spots to upgrade are probably the Garment and Shoes if you're still on Grace. Now would be a good time to start farming your Shadow gear as well! Dim Glacier Weapons are a great place to start dipping your toes into the painful world of item grading! Luckily, the Dim Glacier Reinforcement Device (101637) helps ease you in. Dim Glacier and Snow equipment can be obtained after completing Episode 19. Phase 3 Gear Type Item Notes Upper +9 to +11 Survival Circlet-LT [1] (400154) or +9 Vesper Headgear [1] (400111) To Craft and To Reform the Survival Circlet. To Craft the Vesper Helmet Middle Battle Processor [1] (410017) or Deep Blue Sunglasses [1] (410080) Lower Orbs of Survival-LT (420066) Young Leaf of World Tree (Intelligence) (420022) OoS: To Craft and To Reform. Use OoS if you're using Survival Circlet. YL: SPL Lv2 (311081) or S.MATK Lv.2 (310985) , Spell Lv2 (4814) or MATK Lv.2 (310989) , INT+3 (4712) . Use Young Leaf if you are using Vesper Helm. Any Young Leaf is fine; it's the enchants that matter. Armor +11 Gray Wolf Robe [1] (450178) +9 to +11 Snow Flower Robe [1] (450207) +9 to +11 Glacier Robe [1] (450265) GW: Wolf Orb (Shadow Spell) (310532) Wolf Orb (Mage) Lv.3 (310510) Wolf Orb (Mage) Lv.2 (310507) SF: Ice Flower Magic Stone(Physical Defense) (1000717) or Ice Flower Magic Stone(Magical Defense) (1000718) , Ice Flower Magic Stone(Magician) (1000721) , Ice Flower Magic Stone(Shadow Spell) (1000773) Glacier: Glacier Flower Meow Power(Grand Mage) (312066) , Glacier Flower Meow Power(Mage) (312063) or Glacier Flower Meow Power(Power Force) (312067) , Glacier Flower Meow Power(SPL&WIS) (312059) Weapon +12 [A] Dim Glacier Wand [1] (550089) Arbitrium: Glacier Flower Spell (Magical Grade) Lv5 (311458) Glacier Flower Spell (Arbitrium) (311301) Glacier Flower Spell (Arbitrium) (311301) Shield +11 Illusion Silver Guard [1] (460018) +10 Glacier Guard [1] (460040) ISG: Rune of Intellect Lv2 (29001) Rune of Intellect Lv2 (29001) Glacier: Your choice on the enchants for the Glacier Guard. Garment +11 Convertible Magical Wing [1] (480125) +9 or +10 Glacier Muffler [1] (450267) CMW: Please see below notes for more information on the convertible Wing Glacier: Glacier Flower Meow Power(Caster) (312070) for Slot 2 Shoe +7 to +9 [C] Moan of Corruption [1] (470204) to craft it Accessory (Right) Brilliant Light Sapphire Ring [1] (490064) Sinful Sapphire Ring [1] (490052) For Brilliant Enchants: Any Happiness, Any Destructive Evil. For Sinful Enchants: Any Horror, Any Dragon Scale. I recommend at least level 3 for both. Accessory (Left) Brilliant Light Sapphire Necklace [1] (490065) Sinful Sapphire Necklace [1] (490053) For Brilliant Enchants: Any Happiness, Any Destructive Evil. For Sinful Enchants: Any Horror, Any Dragon Scale. I recommend at least level 3 for both. To craft the Convertible Magical Wing [1] (480125) , you'll need a +7 Supplement Part VIT [1] (20732) , a +7 Upgrade Part - Engine [1] (20733) , a +7 Pile Bunker S [1] (16030) , 5 Opal (727) , and 3 Repair Robot Turbo Card (27015) . The Supplement Part VIT [1] (20732) and Upgrade Part - Engine [1] (20733) can be bought from the Mass Charleston npc with Charleston Component (6752) which are farmed in the Charleston Crisis instance or exchanged for instance coins. They are also a random drop from the MVP in the Charleston Crisis The Pile Bunker S [1] (16030) require 300 Dented Iron Plate (6751) , 1 Pile Bunker (1549) , and 15 Broken Engine (6750) , and will be exchanged with the Mass Charleston npc. The Pile Bunker (1549) requires 200 Steel (999) , 30 Flexible Tube (7325) , and a Brocca (1415) . The Pile Bunker (1549) can be exchanged with the Gomer npc in Yuno with a mechanic class. You need Episode 15 done (you can use a clear ticket) You can use Safe to Refine Tickets on Supplement Part VIT [1] (20732) , Upgrade Part - Engine [1] (20733) , Pile Bunker S [1] (16030) , and Convertible Magical Wing [1] (480125) As mentioned, now would be a great time to work on your shadow gear, particularly your Full Tempest Shadow Earring (24665) and Full Tempest Shadow Pendant (24668) ! Zeny Tip: Rudus F4 will be a great place to farm Zelunium and Shadowdecon until you're strong enough to farm in Niflheim Dungeon F2 and Clock Tower Basement Phase Four We're almost at End Game. Time to make some of the tougher gears. You can skip to Phase Five if you think you can comfortably get the Equipment from Constellation Tower (Hard), Alice Twisted Madness (Hard), Depth 1 and 2, and Hall of Life. For Arbitrium, the Time Dimension Combo will be the biggest upgrade for the build, and you will be dropping Vesper Helm for the TD Crown. However, Depth 2 is a very difficult map, so you won't be able to farm there until Phase 5. That being said, feel free to Grade and upgrade your Vesper Helm or keep it at +9 or +12 or continue to use the Survival Circlet-LT until you can get to the TD Combo. Please keep in mind that Convertible Magical Wing [1] (480125) provides a lot of VCT reduction which you may need as part of your build. Phase 4 Gear Type Item Notes Upper +9 to +11 Survival Circlet-LT [1] (400154) +9 to +11 Vesper Headgear [1] (400111) Middle Battle Processor [1] (410017) or Deep Blue Sunglasses [1] (410080) Lower Orbs of Survival-LT (420066) Young Leaf of World Tree (Intelligence) (420022) OoS: To Craft and To Reform. Use Orbs of Survival-LT (420066) if you are using the Survival Circlet-LT YL: SPL Lv2 (311081) or S.MATK Lv.2 (310985) , Spell Lv2 (4814) or MATK Lv.2 (310989) , INT+3 (4712) . Do not change to Young Leaf until you switch to the Vesper Headgear. Any Young Leaf is fine; it's the enchants that matter. Armor +11 Gray Wolf Robe [1] (450178) +9 to +11 Snow Flower Robe [1] (450207) +9 to +11 Glacier Robe [1] (450265) GW: Wolf Orb (Shadow Spell) (310532) Wolf Orb (Mage) Lv.3 (310510) Wolf Orb (Mage) Lv.2 (310507) SF: Ice Flower Magic Stone(Physical Defense) (1000717) or Ice Flower Magic Stone(Magical Defense) (1000718) , Ice Flower Magic Stone(Magician) (1000721) , Ice Flower Magic Stone(Shadow Spell) (1000773) Glacier: Glacier Flower Meow Power(Grand Mage) (312066) , Glacier Flower Meow Power(Mage) (312063) or Glacier Flower Meow Power(Power Force) (312067) , Glacier Flower Meow Power(SPL&WIS) (312059) Weapon +12 [A] Dim Glacier Wand [1] (550089) Dim: Glacier Flower Spell (Magical Grade) Lv5 (311458) Glacier Flower Spell (Arbitrium) (311301) Glacier Flower Spell (Arbitrium) (311301) Shield +11 Illusion Silver Guard [1] (460018) or +10 or +11 [C] Glacier Guard [1] (460040) ISG: Rune of Intellect Lv2 (29001) Rune of Intellect Lv2 (29001) Glacier: Your choice on the enchants for the Glacier Guard. Garment +11 to +12 Convertible Magical Wing [1] (480125) +11 [A] Death Rune Manteau [1] (480233) +11 [A] Dim Glacier Muffler [1] (480284) DRM: Spell of Varmundt Lv3 (310925) INT+5 (4714) Second Slot Enchant is your choice. Dim: Grace of the Snake God (312157) , Malice of the Snake God(MATK) Lv10 (312156) , Malice of the Snake God(DEF) Lv10 (312136) Shoe +12 [A] Moan of Corruption [1] (470204) Accessory (Right) Temple Rune Ring [1] (490304) Intelligence of Varmundt Lv5 (311958) Fragment of Varmundt (SPL) Lv5 (311998) Second Slot Enchant is your choice. Best is Brilliant Biosphere Gem (Boss Type) (311943) but its a .05% chance. Accessory (Left) Temple Magic Ring [1] (490307) Intelligence of Varmundt Lv5 (311958) Fragment of Varmundt (SPL) Lv5 (311998) Second Slot Enchant is your choice. Best is Brilliant Biosphere Gem (Boss Type) (311943) but it's a .05% chance. Sinful Sapphire Ring [1] (490052) and Sinful Sapphire Necklace [1] (490053) will still be useful to have while working on Phase 5 due to its race modifiers against dragon which will be very strong against Betelgeuse and Jabberwocky. Phase Five AKA the final phase. Phase Five revolves around the gear you get from Constellation Tower, Alice Twisted Madness, Biosphere Depths and Depths 2, and Hall of Life. Of these, Hall of Life is the most difficult. The Enchants on the Stellar Spell Seal provide a large boost in VCT reduction that you may need after losing the Convertible Magical Wing and Wolf Robe, so I would prioritize this if you are having trouble with VCT. Standalone, Engraved Soul Purification Rune Robe [1] (450284) is the better armor, particularly against bosses. However, you will still likely need Nebula Robe of Spell [1] (450173) before being able to farm Biosphere Depths effectively. Additionally, Nebula Robe of Spell [1] (450173) will be stronger with the rest of the Hall of Life gear. The Items from Alice Twisted Madness can provide S.Matk and Magic Damage with Element or provide a lot of VCT Reduction. You should get enchants according to the amount of VCT reduction you need for your build. Phase 5 Gear Type Item Notes Upper +12 [A] Time Dimensions Rune Crown(Cardinal) [1] (400537) INT+5 (4714) , Time Dimension Jewel (Wisdom) Lv3 (312718) or Time Dimension Jewel (Agility) Lv3 (312700) or Time Dimension Jewel (Intelligence) Lv3 (312709) , Magic Essence Jewel Lv1 (312759) Middle Gambler's Seal [1] (410233) Lower Ace of Spades in Mouth (Magical) (420213) Armor +12 [A] Nebula Robe of Spell [1] (450173) +11 to +12 [A] Engraved Soul Purification Rune Robe [1] (450284) Nebula: Star Cluster of Spell Lv.3 (310688) , Nebula of Spell Lv.3 (310738) or Nebula of Health Lv.3 (310744) , INT+5 (4714) Depth: Soul Purification Rune Lv10 (312374) , Purification Rune Lv5 (312364) , Soul Rune Lv5 (312359) Weapon +12 [A] Dimensions Saint Rod [2] (550130) For the Dimensions Weapon, use the enchant you prefer.

Accessory (Left) Signet of Circulation: Autumn [1] (490485) Token of Life (312981) , Signet of Spell Lv5 (312996) In terms of Priority I would recommend: Time Dimensions Rune Crown(Cardinal) [1] (400537) and Dimensions Saint Rod [2] (550130) Nebula Robe of Spell [1] (450173) and Stellar Spell Seal [1] (490136) with the Star of Spell Lv.5 (310711) Star of Spell Lv.5 (310711) enchants Gambler's Seal [1] (410233) and Ace of Spades in Mouth (Magical) (420213) Stellar Spell Seal [1] (490136) with the Star Cluster of Intelligence Lv5 (313038) enchant Circulation of Life: Autumn [1] (480351) and Signet of Circulation: Autumn [1] (490485) Misc Shadow Gear For more information on Magic Shadow Gear, please check out the Shadow Gear section on the Guide to Magic.
